World Wings: Alghero, Sardinia

Alghero, Sardinia Italy

Alghero is one of the most stunning cities in Sardinia. Its beautiful beaches have made it a popular vacation spot, attracting droves of tourists every summer. Despite this, it has managed to maintain its unique charm and atmosphere. The narrow streets of the old city, known as Barcelonetta due to the island's Catalan history, are bustling on the peninsula, encircled by a fortified bastion. As visitors wander through this medieval world, they'll come across the impressive cathedral, constructed in the 16th century in a Catalan-Gothic style. The church of San Francesco boasts a stunning Gothic interior and a small golden cloister. From the quaint fishing port beneath the city walls, boats set sail for the Grotta di Nettuno or Neptune's Caves, one of the island's most breathtaking sights. However, the main allure of Alghero is undoubtedly strolling through its streets, uncovering its charming nooks and crannies while watching the sunset bathe the Mediterranean in a warm, glowing light.
